H.R. 6049; Renewable Energy and Job Creation Act of 2008; With this vote, the House passed a bill that extends federal tax incentives for the renewable energy industry that have expired or are set to expire at year-end 2008. Failure to extend these incentives this year would result in the loss of thousands of jobs, hurt the economy, and would be a major step backwards in the development of a sustainable energy industry to combat climate change. (05/21/2008, Roll Call No. 344. YES is the pro-environment vote.)
